[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw a coworker in a bar yesterday at lunch having two glasses of wine and then came back to work. [/quote]

Was common for over a century for office workers to drink a liquid lunch, then have more cocktails after work with coworkers.

Been common for hundreds of years to drink beer with lunch. Average European lunch was beer or wine and sandwhich with some cheese for working stiffs.

The whole no-alcohol thing is a very recent thing due to a certain group of people who are abolitionists and want to ban everything. [/quote]

Things change. I mean, people drabinom part because drinking clean water wasn’t an option. We know better now. Still, a drink at lunch is a problem in certain cases. However, it should surprise no one if the person was an alcoholic given how many so-called functional alcoholics are out there (recall ABC stores were considered essential during the pandemic). Whether the person was drinking or not, I’d be sure to say hi on my way in or out. Maybe that person needs to know someone cares.[/quote]

Alcoholism is a protected disability so waving at them might make the person uncomfortable enough to report you to HR for discrimination.[/quote]
